Apples are some of the most variable fruit out there...johnny appleseed planted his out, but that was at a time when hard cider was preferred to water by many Americans. If you like those 2 varieties, get grafted trees.
You can kill fireblight? I thought the only way is a heavy pruning well past the point of the symptoms. I don't have experience, just heard from others.
I worked on an apple farm in upstate New York during my high school years. Picking, pressing and bottling cider. That was a long time ago, before all the dwarfing rootstocks such as M9. Now, apples are typically grown tightly in rows, trees 2 meters apart, almost like a vegetable.And the new varieties are great. Has anyone tried SnapDragon, also known as NY1? It's a hybrid from the HoneyCrisp. I've not tried it but hear it's very good.
